A Nazi zeppelin whodunit... Machado has made a fine entertainment. A murder in mid-air is inherently intriguing, and the eventual explanation displays appropriate chutzpah. At the same time the book works well as a historical and a political novel. Not bad for just 156 pages * Morning Star *
Politics and crime united in an ironic adventure through history - both of the twentieth century and contemporary Brazil. A novel with the lightness of Agatha Christie's works and the depth of the most important moments in history. -- Michel Laub, author of 'Diary of the Fall'
